Blog Soup 2011.10.31.Happy Halloween

Lots of treats. Maybe a few tricks. All we can be sure of is that winter is coming.

I read a lot of blogs. Maybe, too many. I comment on a lot of blog posts. Maybe, too many. If you are a Triberrati, you do too.

A Triberrati is a blogger that stands out in the Triberr community. Triberr is a web app that connects bloggers and helps them to curate each other on Twitter. You can learn all about Triberr by reading any of the following posts about it.

Dino says that your customers do not read your blog. They may read one or more blog posts, but they are unlikely to comment or tweet about your blog post. They’ll either contact you or not after they visit your blog. Your blog audience, the fans, the commenters, and the tweeters are conspirators and cohorts that legitimize (or delegitimize) you in front of potential customers.

My comment:

Dino wants to be scary. [grin] I’m not saying that he’s wrong about the challenge of conversion. 99.8% of the people that see your business blog will not become customers. If you are lucky, two percent will subscribe, comment, and/or like one or more blog posts. Reward that two percent. Be thankful for them. Because they make you and your blog credible.

Here’s the CoolerKing’s top three. Check out the blog post for all ten and the bloody details.

1. Near Dark (1987)
2. Let the Right One in (2008)
3. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992

My comment:

This list was obviously interesting and worth sharing because it didn’t champion Twilight. Not that Twilight sucks. How could I say that when Twilight’s star backs me up as vocalist on my favorite podcast.
